My son bit me but it was only when I tried feeding him when he wasn't really hungry. So my suggestion would be wait to feed him when he's hungry and if he does bite, you can say ouch, you hurt mom in a stern, not scary voice, take him off the breast and set him down. This way he knows you won't tolerate it. Good Luck!
